'An authentic voice telling a compelling story for our times.' Peter Corris '[Plenty] covers a great deal of ground … it would be an excellent school text, not least because of the nuanced way in which it treats the material and the authorial insight …' The Sydney Morning Herald 'This quietly powerful novella proves there’s still a lot to add to the asylum-seeker debate. Plenty – both the novella and the town – might be small, but it’s packed full of surprises. Dale’s tone is wry but warm, infused with character and a gently ironic sense of humour.'
